"I remember your birthday every year," she said with a smile, looking at me. "I know this isn't the best time to celebrate, but I still want to prepare it for you."
"Yiwa, Sheng Yun probably isn't in the mood to celebrate. We should …" Although I am grateful for her kind intentions, once I thought about Sheng Yun's current mood, I said hesitantly.
"No, Shang Yang already asked for his opinion beforehand. Only when he agreed did we dare to come over." Unexpectedly, Xia Yiwa gave me an unexpected answer.
Aa Nan's and Aa Bei's strange attire and the Snow White cake that they were pushing attracted countless people to watch. Xia Yiwa said to me, "Let's hurry up and enter the ward. Letting them dress like this is really difficult for them."
I looked gratefully at Aa Nan and Aa Bei. Their faces revealed simple and honest smiles. They were not good at expressing themselves in words, so they said to me in unison, "Happy birthday, Miss."
"Stop calling me Miss, just call me Shubei." "Come, let's go in and chat." I smiled at them.
Xia Yiwa pushed open the door of the ward. Aa Nan and Aa Bei carefully pushed the cake in. After giving me a friendly hug, they left.
I closed the door to the ward and found four people looking at me from inside, their faces burning slightly.
I was worried about Sheng Yun's emotional reaction, so I looked at him worriedly. At the beginning, he was expressionless, but when he saw me looking at him, he revealed a smile and said, "What are you waiting for, hurry up and make a wish to blow the candle."
"Happy Birthday …" Rou was the first to laugh and sing a birthday song, clapping her hands and clapping her hands.
I put my hands together, closed my eyes and made a devout wish, then blew out all the candles in one breath.
Rou came over and hugged me with a smile. She then handed me a small gift box.
"Rou, thank you." Surprised, I smiled and accepted Rou's gift. Opening it, I saw that it was a platinum collarbone chain.
"Shubei, this is a present I prepared for you." Shang Yang handed me a silver gift box and hugged me. When I opened it, I saw that it was a scarf belonging to Ferragamo.
After that, Xia Yiwa also took out a purple box from her bag and handed it to me. I opened it to take a look, and my eyes immediately moistened. Inside was a small jade pendant carved from my appearance. This intention was extremely valuable.
"Thank you." I hugged Xia Yiwa again, trying to calm my emotions down. After a few moments of effort, my mood finally returned to normal.
The man who was lying on the ground had been observing the scene from beginning to end. There was no 'Happy Birthday', let alone a present.
Unexpectedly, he was the first to become impatient. "Are you all done yet? I'm hungry and I want to eat cake. "
"You're injured. You don't get a share of the cake." I smiled and cut a big piece of it. I passed it to Shang Yang first.
"What I have is only a superficial wound, not an internal one. What's wrong with the cake?" Sheng Yun said coldly. Then, he turned to Rou and said, "Rou, help me cut one piece."
Rou smiled at Sheng Yun and then walked over to take the knife from me. She cut a small piece of the knife and gave it to him before gently saying, "It's inconvenient for you, I'll feed it to you."
"Alright." He actually really opened his mouth and began to eat bit by bit.
After I gave everyone a piece of cake, I also ate a piece of cake because of what happened to Sheng Yun. Furthermore, we were in the hospital, so we had to stop being happy.
After the cake was finished, the scene calmed down. Rou sat closest to Sheng Yun from beginning to end. She wiped Sheng Yun's mouth without any hesitation. From time to time, she checked his injuries with concern.
When Xia Yiwa saw this scene, she slightly frowned and walked to my side. She whispered to me, "What's the situation here?"
I shook my head. I don't know, how would I know! I don't know what kind of relationship they had! His heart chugged as if there was a small ball of flame burning, but it was completely unable to erupt.
"What do you plan on doing next?" Rou asked after she had examined his injuries.
"I don't know, I didn't plan to," Sheng Yun smiled bitterly. "If possible, on the day of Grandpa's funeral, I want to send him off."
"I'll help you with that, don't worry." Shang Yang continued.
Sheng Yun raised his head and looked at Shang Yang. He asked with a profound tone, "You still think I'm your friend?"
"Aren't you talking nonsense?" When Shang Yang heard Sheng Yun's question, he immediately walked over and pretended to punch Sheng Yun in the chest. Then he smiled and said, "If you weren't injured, I would definitely beat you up if I were to ask such a question."
Sheng Yun immediately laughed, his tightly knitted eyebrows relaxed a lot: "Then I'll have to trouble you, I don't want to have any more conflicts with Sheng Family, it's fine as long as Grandfather gets buried in the ground from afar."
"Yun, I still don't understand how you gave up so easily." Shang Yang couldn't help but ask, "One month ago, you were still worrying about the future of Golden Age. Why did you give up so quickly?"
"It is good enough to seek one's own government in one's place, and to have no shame in one's heart. As for giving up or letting go, it might vary from person to person. To me, it's actually a lot easier. I can finally live for myself. " Sheng Yun smiled and said, "I used to envy you for your free and easy attitude and Rou's boldness and boldness, but now …" I have a chance to be myself. After all these years, he had been carrying a lot of burdens, making it difficult for him to breathe. It was good that he could put them down now. All of that did not belong to me. "
When Sheng Yun said these words, my gaze was fixated on him. His gaze was as calm as the sea without a single ripple. His tone was also as calm as ever, as though he had really seen through and let go of everything.
"Then be yourself!" Hearing Sheng Yun's words, Rou smiled and said, "I really miss that debaucherous prodigal son from ten years ago. I really don't like that well-dressed and profound businessman Sheng Yun. Fortunately, the sea of suffering is boundless, and you have finally returned to the shore! "
"I also miss that year of freedom and unbridled action. That year of drunkenness, that year of nostalgia, that year of …" Sheng Yun said emotionally. When he said the last sentence, he stopped and looked at me subconsciously.
"The Xiaoyun of that year?" Rou asked back, then sighed and said, "All these years I've been helping you find her, but …" She really seems to have disappeared. "
"Let's not talk about what happened in the past anymore. Rou, you are really something." Shang Yang glanced at me, then burst out laughing.
"Looks like my brother's story is very long." Xia Yiwa's face was a little angry. She said to Rou, "Rou, it's getting late. Let Shang Yang send you back. You won't be able to rest easy even if no one helps take care of your bar."
Rou, of course, understood Xia Yiwa's meaning. She still had that charming smile on her face as she walked over and held Xia Yiwa's and my shoulders, then smiled at me and said, "Shubei, my relationship with Yun won't make you jealous, right?"
"No, how could that be?" I smiled faintly and hurriedly said.
"We've known each other for so many years, and we're really too familiar with each other. That's why sometimes, when we meet, we unavoidably ignore others and chat about matters of the past." Rou said hurriedly, then said, "But don't mind me. If Yun and I were to be together, you probably wouldn't exist. I feel that since Yun is interested in you, you must be extraordinary. You can't be a narrow-minded woman like that. "
I smiled and said, "There are some things that are more far-fetched and blacker the more you explain them, so there's no need to explain too much, Rou. I know, you know, everybody does. "I really admire you. After I give birth to my child, we can have a good drink. I'm really interested in the story from ten years ago."
A trace of approval appeared in her eyes, and she smiled as she patted me on the shoulder and said, "Stories represent the past after all. I think a smart woman must know how to grasp the present. What do you think?"
"I don't think so," I retorted with a faint smile. "Perhaps some people and things are priceless jewels in your eyes, but in my eyes, they are only ordinary mountain stones. They aren't that precious, so I can't be sure."
I don't know if it was my imagination or something, but Sheng Yun's face immediately darkened.
Rou looked at me with interest. She tapped me on the forehead with her slender finger and said coquettishly, "You have the ability to say things that are different from your heart. You have the ability to compete with some people."
"Yun, I'm leaving. If we don't leave now, Yiwa will probably drive us away. " Rou smiled again at Xia Yiwa, and then said to Sheng Yun.
"All of you can go back to your work. I'm tired, too. I want some peace and quiet." Sheng Yun said lightly.
"Let's go, Yiwa," Rou said, raising an eyebrow at Xia Yiwa, then touching her face. "You, you, before I saw Sofia, I realized you were very close to me. Only after seeing her did I realize that your intimacy with me was completely on par with her. "
"Then you definitely can't compare to them. You've known them since they were young …" Alright, then rest. "Shubei, we'll be leaving first." Shang Yang said as he waved to us and followed them out the door.
The moment they left, Sheng Yun said to me with a cold expression: "So in your eyes, I'm just an ordinary rock that's not even worth mentioning?"
